"Chad and his crew were absolutely amazing. From the first sales call, until the last nail of completion, I knew we could count on him. He had been referred, and we immediately felt comfortable with Chad, as he patiently explained the value in a significant undertaking - this roof will be there another 200 years, the quality is just that good! The work was on-time, professional, and the crew did a great job of cleaning up when they are done. We plan to use Metal Roofs Direct for other roofs when the time comes!"
"Review of Valley Exteriors, (Roofing Division) I was initially contacted by Simon Nielsen (Estimator - work no. 920-809-7600) and received an all inclusive, formal, and competitive quote. Simon was very professional and courteous. A crew of six workers showed up on time (Oscarâ s Crew) and immediately began hanging nets and tarps to protect the house and lawn. They proceeded to remove two layers of old roofing while loading the discarded shingles into a large trailer for disposal. The new roof install started with the install of new drip edge/gutter apron over a synthetic felt. This was followed by a universal starter strip, and an ice & water shield (2 rows) around the perimeter. The roof vents were removed and holes patched followed by an all new ridge vent installed across the top of the roof. The GAF HDZ Architectural shingles are a stunning look and I now have the most attractive roof in the neighborhood!!! Thanks to Oscarâ s Crew, Simon, Darlene, and Martin. I highly recommend Valley Exteriors Thanks, Dan (Home Owner)"
"Brothers did our roof after a hail storm. They were absolutely amazing to work with from selecting a shingle, insulation to the hr completed roof. Amazing service! Well priced! And honestly I recommend them to all of my friends and family. I could not be more impressed with a roofing company."
"FLASH roofing provided a free roofing inspection for us after the July hailstorm. They were prompt and professional, and they didn't pressure us at all. I found them to be very friendly and honest! They also provided a representative the day the insurance adjuster came which was really helpful to us being unfamiliar with how to handle a claim. I would definitely recommend FLASH to everyone in Wisconsin!"
"Bryan is very professional and cares about his customers!! He's an expert in the services he provides, and was very patient with answering all my questions. He puts a lot of pride in the quality of products he sells and the team he has completing the project. I will recommend Bryan and his team to anyone needing roofing services!!"

The most crucial roof-strengthening method is achievable by following proper construction methods and guidelines from the start. To strengthen an existing roof, framers and DIYers can add hurricane ties or straps to the structure, sister rafters and other framing or truss members, or install additional fasteners or adhesives where necessary.
No, a metal roof will not make your house hot. In fact, metal roofs help keep your home cooler by reflecting heat instead of absorbing and transmitting it inside. Metal also has high thermal conductivity, which means it gains and loses heat quickly. While the sun may heat the metal, the roof rapidly transfers that heat back into the air rather than retaining it. This reflective property can lead to energy cost savings of up to 40%, as your cooling system won't need to work as hard to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.
You can install solar panels on a flat or pitched roof, but keep in mind that they will need to rest at a 30- to 50-degree tilt for optimal sun absorption. It costs more to install solar panels on a flat roof because you will need to install a framing system and likely hire a structural engineer. If your roof has a pitch of more than 40 degrees, it may not be a good candidate for solar panels.
Tar and gravel roofs last an average of 30 years, which is longer than the average lifespan of many other flat roofs. The gravel on top of the waterproof membrane helps protect the roof from UV damage and physical damage, so if you keep your roof drains clear and carry out annual roof inspections to catch issues early, you could see up to 40 years of useful life from your roof.
Re-roofing is the process of placing a layer of shingles over top of existing shingles, rather than pulling out those shingles and replacing them. Compared to a full roof replacement, re-roofing typically costs less and requires less labor and time. It's not an option for everyone, though. You may need a full roof replacement if your roof already has more than one layer of shingles. A full replacement may also be necessary if your roof has extensive damage.
